France: The $2,000,000 Grudge

Marcel Ermacora, 51, knows how to nurse a
grudge. The son of a poverty-stricken Italian family, Ermacora served
in Algeria with the French Foreign Legion and later developed a fierce
resentment against his adopted country for abandoning its former
colony. So when he went to work as an assistant accountant for the
prosperous firm of Carel Fouché Languepin, manufacturers of railroad
equipment, he decided to take his revenge. As he told a judge in Paris:
"My company was a representative of French capitalism and as such
responsible for abandoning Algeria."
